Ahadabui

Ahadabui (147-220) was Patriarch of the East from 204 to 220 AD, succeeding Yaqob I and preceding Shahlufa.

Biography
Ahadabui was named because of his similar appearance to his father, and he became a disciple of Patriarch of the East Yaqob I. He and another disciple, Qamisho, were sent to Antioch by a dying Yaqob so that the church there could consecrate either of them as the new Patriarch, but they were imprisoned after being labelled as "Persian spies". Ahadabui fled to Jerusalem, while Qamisho was crucified as a spy. The bishops laid hands on Ahadabui and sent him to the east, and, breaking with tradition, he was consecrated as Patriarch while away from Antioch. He served from 204 to 220, and he died in 220.
